Is there anyone out there who has managed to get xman to store formatted man pages? I have added /usr/share/man/cat? directories and set the permissions to 755 with owner man.bin. This works fine for man (which is a setuid man program) but obviously doesn't work for xman (which is not setuid). I tried to setuid man the xman program but then I run into problems with xauth (I am running xdm). I guess that I could change the permissions on all of the cat? directories to allow global write access but this doesn't sound like the best solution. Any ideas?
